12-Day Vegan Japan Tour: Tokyo to Hiroshima

Hosted by Go Vegan Travel | Tokyo, Kanazawa, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima

GoVegan Travel offers a spectacular 11-day group tour through Japan, meticulously designed for plant-based travellers. Journeying from the neon-lit energy of Tokyo to the historic streets of Hiroshima, this comprehensive adventure takes the stress out of exploring one of the world's most fascinating countries. It is a brilliant addition to the Eat Plants & Travel directory for conscious explorers who want to experience Japan's rich culture, striking landscapes, and incredible cuisine alongside a small group of like-minded people.

The itinerary seamlessly blends iconic sights with authentic local experiences. Guests will ride the famous Shinkansen bullet trains, wander through the serene Arashiyama Bamboo Forest in Kyoto, and visit the iconic floating torii gate on Miyajima Island. The tour is perfectly paced, balancing guided activities with free time to explore traditional teahouses in Kanazawa, meet the friendly roaming deer in Nara, or reflect peacefully at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.

Food is a central focus of the entire journey. Finding authentic vegan food in Japan can sometimes be challenging, but this tour guarantees top-tier plant-based dining at every stop. You can look forward to traditional Japanese tea ceremonies, hands-on vegan sushi making classes, and sake tasting sessions. With an expert tour host managing all the logistics and navigating the language barrier, GoVegan Travel delivers a deeply authentic, effortless, and entirely cruelty-free Japanese holiday.
